Program and Events RFP  

The City of Greensboro is seeking proposals from qualified professionals interested in developing and executing events or programs at various Parks and Recreation or City facilities that create low-barrier, high impact opportunities for community enrichment and engagement. Proposals are invited from individuals or organizations who have experience planning and executing high-quality community programming.

Specifically, the City is seeking outdoor, community-based programming that supports the Parks and Recreation Department’s comprehensive master Plan2Play, which calls for the establishment of Community Hearts. These areas are at/near various City facilities and parks (see table on page 4) and will feature unique programs, creative amenities, and a spirit of place local to the neighborhoods that they serve. Through this Request for Proposals (RFP) and future contracted partner programming, the City hopes to provide meaningful, low-barrier experiences for community members residing in and around Community Heart locations.

Further, the City would like to receive programming proposals that are specifically tailored to audiences rooted in Greensboro’s culturally diverse and multifaceted population. As Greensboro is widely known as a majority minority city, we seek new and creative events intentionally designed to meet these population’s desires.

The City intends to award funding through service contracts to multiple and different proposers. This RFP process is applicable for proposed outdoor events or programs occurring before February 1, 2026.
